Do Diesel engines even use boilers? I know electric ones don't. You don't see a whole lot of functioning steam engines these days. They are neat though. Noisy AF.

I thought you were talking back in the day when you referenced railroad engineers talking to op's father. Ie even way back when the people that ran old steam locomotives had the same opinion.

Funny enough my FIL was a train engineer for steam engines but transitioned to maintaining boilers at a hospital as most steam engines were being phased out early in his career.
